So I made a thing in my free time over the past 18 months. Goes on sale on Amazon on Thursday March 26 in eBook and paperback formats. Very different experience than writing scientific manuscripts.
Looking for a postdoc or staff scientist with brain slice electrophysiology experience. If you or someone you know is interested in, message me.
Me and my lab are featured in this video. This is double funny. Not only am I no longer in Indiana, but I was never a faculty member at IUI/IUPUI.
